OK I'll chime in....the timing advance is created when the RELUCTOR is made to rotate away from it's original relationship to the pickup. THAT is what initiates timing advance because now the trigger relationship has changed!
All the rotor does is transfer that change to the cap. The rotor moves but that is why you have a broad tip on the rotor, to transfer that advance from the reluctor/pickup without deteriorating the cap and rotor due to excessive gap.
Are we done now????

Since the dedicated few have refused to read the material produced by a guy that has written tech for decades that says that very thing(even when edited down so it wont have extraneous info), refused to look at the related pics, and somehow misinterpreted the audio and video produced by the market share leading ignition company, PLUS having the same information restated numerous different ways by several people, I'll wager no.
